This New York-based band, The Rad Trads, just finished their summer tour traveling West. They are celebrating the release of their 2018 album 'On Tap' released September 14, 2018. + listen to their album ‘On Tap’ released last month!

Can a band really be categorized as rock’n’roll, jazz, and blues all at the same time? If you're the Rad Trads, the answer is yes. This NYC-based band knows how to work a room with their groovy Americana feel and funky instrumentation. They first swept us off our feet with their debut album, Must We Call Them Rad Trads? and again with their 2014 EP Self Help.

The band’s most recent album, On Tap, showcases their playful use of horns and strong vocal range. They have a knack for composing lyrical words of wisdom in songs, evidenced in tracks like “Good Luck Unto Ya” and “Wishing Well”.

The Rad Trads recently hit the road to play their new music across the US this summer. Lucky for us, they sent us some pictures of life on the road—meeting fans, riding motorcycles, and crossing the Mississippi River. After taking a brief breather, the five-piece are kicking off another tour throughout Spain today. Track them so you won't miss out on a chance to see them perform On Tap live!
